CHAPTER II 



MANAGING THE FARM FLOCK 



Charged to the Wrong Account 



THE sheep has been rightly called the "Golden Hoofed Animal," and 

 because it does give so much, one would suppose men would make 

 the most of this fact, but not so. The things that come easy to men, or 

 that are given to them, they do not appreciate, and the man who spends 

 his life aiding his fellowman is seldom respected as much as the selfish 

 millionaire. 



A Good Flock is One of the Assets of This Farm 



Mortals try all the hard ways first. They have tried to make sheep 

 a success by first charging to the sheep's account all of their own mis- 

 takes and calling them diseases. A noted Englishman, Professor 

 Huxley, has well said: "Humanity presents no more pitiable aspect 

 than that afforded by its disposition persistently to resist every foot- 

 step of its own progress."
